4 Benefits of Scleral Contact Lenses

  • Cost-effective

    Because they're custom fit, the cost of scleral lenses is usually higher than standard contact lenses. However, because sclerals last up to 2 years, they're more cost-effective in the long term.

  • Eye protection

    Sclerals are larger than other types of contacts, which allows for better protection from debris, dust and allergens that may irritate or injure your eye.

  • Extra-stable vision

    Their extra-large diameter keeps the scleral lenses centered and steady on your eye. If you play sports or have an active lifestyle, their size, shape and customized fit will prevent them from popping out of your eye.

  • Superior hydration

    Scleral lenses form a pocket that fills with artificial tears as they vault over your cornea. This lubricating cushion provides an extremely comfortable wearing experience for all-day hydration.

With scleral lenses, you'll experience vision comfort and excellent optics like never before!

Emily was just amazing , The sweetest woman I have ever came across

Okay so I want to start this off with complementing the staff and doctors. Absolutely amazing people... and outstanding care. I’m so glad to find an eye doctor who accepts Medicaid! I have great vision, but recently I had something in my eye that scratched my cornea. It was the worst feeling in the world! They let me come in same day for an appointment before work, and worked super fast but with great care. Before them, I went to the ER. And they brushed me off like it wasn’t a big deal. The doctor at ABBA actually looked in my eye with a microscope to make sure the obstruction was out- it was thankfully. But I had scratches and irritation that is in the process of healing. Everyone was so kind and patient. I couldn’t ask for better. Thank you!

Dr. Brilley has been our (my son and I) optimologist for years now. I love his bed side manners. He... is so thorough and explains eyecare in layman terms. Thank you Dr. Brilley!

Shout out to EMILY! Amazing experience all around! My daughter has been going to the Fountain one fo... r years w/all great things to say, so I finally made it in for my exam but I went to the N Circle one. The Dr/staff were so amazing! When my contacts came in, it took me months to actually pick up (due to fractured ankle & injured back from gma on trampolines for M-Day) then hurt dominant arm, I was a mess! So I finally made it into the store before it moved locations but had to exchange 2 boxes & they were supposed to go to the Lake store near my home but somehow still went to the new store really far from me. When I called & Emily said they could mail them I thought it’d take too long but before I could say anything, Emily went way above & BEYOND saying she lived near the Lake store, so she’d be happy to drop them off there for me to pick up! What!? Really!? Im just beside myself at the service & her willingness to do that for me! I work in the medical field also & all too often do we hear all the awful complaints but rarely the appreciation & acknowledgment for being there for our patients. So THANK YOU EMILY for your amazing heart & service!! 💕

I have been coming here for my examination, glasses, and contacts for a couple of years now, and wil... l continue to do so. There are other options closer to me, but it is worth the extra drive for the added care that they show.

We have had two amazing experiences at this location. In February I had my eye exam and a contact fi... tting. Today, my daughter had her annual eye exam. The optometrist is very kind, and explains everything clearly. AJ, who did both of our prep, helped me find glasses and order contacts was incredible. She was so helpful and made sure we were completely satisfied with our service. We live in Fountain, but we will always make the drive to this location because of the service provided. Thank you!

Scleral Lenses FAQs

Do scleral lenses help with dry eyes?

Scleral lenses can provide immense relief to dry eye patients.

These custom-designed lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the scleral while avoiding the irritated cornea. The liquid reservoir between the lens and the cornea provides a continuous moist environment that protects the cornea and provides relief for those with dry, itchy and burning eyes.

Are scleral lenses more comfortable than standard contact lenses?

Scleral lenses are custom-fit to your exact corneal measurements. This, along with the lenses’ extra-large size, makes the lenses both extra-comfortable and extra-stable on the eye.

Does insurance cover scleral lenses?

This will largely depend on the type of insurance you have. Not all insurances are the same. Some plans will cover the exam and the lens fitting, but will not cover the lenses themselves. Others will agree to pay part or all of the cost, but usually, after other treatment options have been exhausted.
